So............not having paid dear attention to you all on the list relative
to the temperature guage of TR3's in past posts, I just found out what exactly
is meant by my having a broken capillary tube running from the thermostat
housing sending unit, to the guage. These sending units were charged with a
gas (ether?), so must be sent to a repair facility for rebuilding.
1) Does anybody have a recent sense of the cost for rebuilding this guage and
reputable referrals to places that do it?
2) Does anybody have an electrical workaround ?

driveshaft back on the frame, with the shop testing the radiator testing
positive, but the heater rusted so solid I could sell it for iron.)
